'Upper' in the Bible

And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.

Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.

And the upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
